Since leveraging sport's potential in fostering citizenship can amplify the cultivation of these capacities, the main aim of this study is to ascertain the role of sport as a catalyst for activism, contr…
Portuguese perspectives for education and inclusion of young forced migrants through sport
As migratory waves increase and get more complex, social inequalities are likely to arise due to challenges associated with cultural differences, language or lack of supportive networks. Beside international laws and guidelines, responses have been developed for supporting young forced migrants inclusion in host countries. There are suggestions in the literature that sport, if intentionally used as an educational strategy with inclusive purposes,…

This examination included interviews with teachers, a foc…
